Quotes

"Take My Chances has it all: competent vocal harmony, refined Wurly, Rhodes, Hammond, and acoustic piano sounds, and impressive chops from all band members that fit naturally into touching songs. Deveau delivers intelligible lyrics about everyday experiences in an unstrained voice. There's humor, sentimentality, and even plainness here. Bravo!"
- Keyboard Magazine

"Something fresh and bold: piano-based rock with jazzy/folky underpinnings that swing like crazy...all of which Deveau translates into his own uniquely familiar style." -- Amplifier

"Keep an ear out for the dulcet tones of Joe Deveau."
-- Boston Globe
